Query 	Reply	
1-	In page 24 under section 4 of the RFP point # 2.4 regarding the risk mitigation, quality assurance, and communication plans to be submitted, as per our understanding these components will be developed during the inception phase of the engagement whereas the technical offer needs mention the methodology and approach to be used for developing the same. Is the expectation to submit the actual plans that will be implemented during the project?
	The bidder should also develop (risk mitigation, quality assurance, and communication plans) as part of the proposal, these plans will be updated during the inception phase in the inception report, and the design phase when developing Project Documents. 	
2-	In pages 21 to 24 under section 4 of the RFP, some eligibility and qualification criteria points are mentioned in both sub-section; minimum eligibility and qualification criteria and technical evaluation criteria. In such cases, will the evaluation be based on pass/fail basis or point basis	The initial screening will be done based on eligibility criteria and then on technical evaluation criteria assigning points 	
3-	In page 18 under section 3 of the RFP, BDS No. 16 there is no mention of the physical address where the original bid security must be sent. Can you please confirm the address to send the original bid security	Procurement Unit

4-	In the demonstration video for submission, it is mentioned that attachments must not exceed 45 MB of size and the in BDS No. 16 the file size mentioned is 5MB. Is it correct to assume that the 45MB is the total size of all attachments and the 5MB is the maximum size for each attachments	Each file should not exceed 5MB all together not more than 45MB	
5-	In page 42 of the RFP (Form A), there seem to be a typo in the short name of the project in the first paragraph first line (KHEIS) and in the proposal number in the first paragraph second line (ending 03 instead of 09). Is it safe to assume we must correct these once the forms are populated for submission?	RFP ref No. RFP/UNDP/KW/2018/09_PMO	
6-	In the eTendering portal, as part of the submission process and answering the questions, question no. 6 ideal answer is YES. As per our understanding the answer to this question must be NO. Can you please clarify	By content it should be “No” – YES answer required for confirmation of submission official letter acknowledging that there is no conflict of interest. 	
7-	In the eTendering portal, as part of the submission process and answering the questions, some questions require the same attachments to previous questions. Is it safe to answer that the relevant attachment for a question is already included in a previous answer	YES.
